Oh, undress oddly covers up (9)
I believe the answer is:
enshrouds
'covers up' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their -s form, I can't see how they can define each other.
'oh undress oddly' is the wordplay.
'oddly' indicates an anagram.
'oh'+'undress'='ohundress'
'ohundress' is an anagram of 'ENSHROUDS'.
